Edition 8 November 2011 – February 2012

The official Alumni newsletter of the Golden Eagle Battalion - Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) program hosted at Marquette University.

Greetings from the Professor of Military Science

Friends of the Golden Eagle Battalion:

This has been another exceptional quarter for the Battalion. For starters, we were honored at the annual BDE leadership conference as the second best program among the 40 ROTC Battalions in 3rd BDE. While we were ecstatic about that significant accomplishment and about illuminating the Cadet’s efforts and great successes, we are just as motivated to shoot for the top spot in the BDE next year! We were extremely honored to induct COL Mark Mitchell into the Wall of Honor during our contracting ceremony on Veterans Day. He gave a terrific speech, impressing Cadets, Cadre, Family, Friends, and Marquette faculty alike. Additionally, numerous Alumni have been extremely generous with their financial support, and we are putting the donated funds to good use supporting a plethora of Cadet Activities and Training Events. These include: Kettle Bell Weights, shadow recruit visits, a nursing tour of the VA, timing clock, the Notre Dame basketball trip, the Buddy Ranger Challenge Trip, and the German Armed Forces Proficiency Badge training. The battalion transitioned Cadet leadership starting the second semester, and our new command group is doing exceptionally well preparing our MSIIIs for LDAC and by challenging our MSIs and MIIs with new leadership opportunities—the future looks bright! Our Cadets will have a very exciting summer, as we have been allocated 2 Airborne slots, 2 Air Assault slots, 1 Combat Diver (Scuba School) slot, 2 Nurse Summer Training Program (Tripler Military Medical Center in Hawaii and Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, MD) slots, 31 going to LDAC, and 11 Cultural Immersion Trips all over the world. And, I used to get excited about being a lifeguard in the summer! Before they get to these summer adventures, however, the Cadets will have an exciting second semester which we will report on in the next newsletter. Thanks again for your support, and please stop in and say hello if you are in the area!

Golden Eagle Battalion Honors Veterans and Contracts 21 Cadets

On November 11, 2011, the Golden Eagle Battalion honored our nation’s veterans with a ceremony conducted at Marquette University. The Professor of Military Science, Lieutenant Colonel Robert Kaderavek, inducted Colonel Mark E. Mitchell, a class of 1987 MU alum, into the Wall of Honor for his distinguished military career, which includes being awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for his courageous actions in Afghanistan.

The Veterans Day ceremony also included contracting 21 Cadets who took the Loyalty Oath in front of family, friends, and veterans.

Halloween Run In spirit of the Halloween festivities it is customary for the Cadets and Cadre of the GEB to dress up in their Halloween costume and complete a battalion run. Cadences are sung and laughing is done as we parade through campus. LTC

Kaderavek, was missing that day, but Clay Matthews, bearing a striking resemblance to our PMS, was there to fill his shoes. Fun was had by all who participated and there was plenty of

Halloween candy for the Cadets.

The following Cadets were recognized as displaying these qualities: (pictured below left to right) Jason Morrison, Matthew Santilli, Brandon Rickard, James Rettig, Kevin Bubolz and Matthew Nelson.

Army Physical Fitness Test High Scorers The Cadets of the Golden Eagle Battalion excel in many areas of soldiering. One in particular is physical fitness. Fitness is highly stressed and PT sessions are intense. Two Cadets who deserve recognition for their outstanding performance during the Army Physical Fitness Test are Cadet Joseph Lemens and Cadet Valerie Kehl. CDT Lemens had the highest score for males with a 334 on the extended scale. CDT Valerie Kehl scored the highest for the females with a 355 on the extended scale. CDT Kehl and CDT Lemens are pictured below receiving a plaque for their achievement.

As the new spring semester fast approaches, I am caught thinking about all the new, exciting

challenges and opportunities that I will face during my last few months as a Cadet. We have many

battalion events lined up for this semester, which most, if not all of the battalion will be involved in:

Military Ball, Brigade Ranger Challenge, the German Armed Forces Badge competition, Notre Dame

Basketball Tournament, Spring FTX, etc.

These events will give me a chance to

better myself as a leader, while also

bringing tremendous esprit de corps and

positive morale to the battalion as a

whole. As the new Cadet Battalion

Commander, this next semester will

certainly bring its share of original and

exciting challenges, but with these

challenges come opportunities to

flourish and improve myself as a future

Army officer. As with any Cadet in my

position, I am looking forward to

commissioning and to the next chapter in my military career. I can say with great confidence that the last

four years here at Marquette have prepared me to the greatest extent to become the best Infantry officer

I possibly can be. In reflecting on my military journey so far, a few key events and people have paved the

way and truly shaped the person I’ve become and the leader I want to be upon commissioning. My parents

have supported me every step of the way (my dad is a retired Infantry officer) and I am so lucky and

thankful that they have always been there for

me. My brother set the right example for me

to follow as well. When he came back from

his first tour in Iraq, I recognized the reality of

personal sacrifice and what it really means to

serve your country and give back to our

community. Of course I have to thank LTC

Kaderavek for always keeping me motivated

and fired up! Lastly, I am lucky to have gone

through this journey with my fellow

classmates. I feel like I have made lifelong

friends that I will continue to keep in touch

with and I look forward to ending this journey

the same way we started it – all together as

one, strong, bonded class of 2012.

Cadet Battalion Commander Brandon Rickard Looking Forward to this Semester and Beyond

Dining In Dining In is a formal military ceremony for members of the Golden Eagle Battalion, which includes a dinner, drinking from the grog, and other events to foster camaraderie and esprit de corps. The Golden Eagle’s dining in consists of only the members of the unit. It is a time honored tradition that allows the cadets to also put together a skit. This skit is a time where each class gets to poke a little fun at the other classes and the cadre. It was a spectacular event for the GEB.

Members of the Family Action Network

and other parents donated supplies and

their time to stock Christmas stockings

for every Cadet in the Battalion. The

stocking included everything from

sugary treats to tape measures and

levels. These stocking were given out at

the final lab of the first semester. Every

Cadet could leave with a smile and

plenty of fuel to get

them through the

rigors of studying for

finals. It was a great

cap to an incredible

semester for the

GEB. Thank you FAN

Club!

CDT Wittkamper attends the All Americancan Bowl When asked by CPT Shefchik to be a Cadet

marshal at the High School All American

Bowl Game this year in San Antonio Texas, I

happily accepted. It was a six day, all

expense paid trip to supervise a group of

twenty-two high school juniors. These

players, who were from all around the

country, attended a two day combine

scouting event with hopes to explore future

college careers as football players. It was

hectic at times keeping twenty-two high

schoolers accountable. The players generally

cooperated and the weekend went relatively

smooth considering how many people

needed to be organized and guided. I gained

valuable experience in what it may feel like

to be responsible for a platoon sized element

and I would do it again. Many thanks to CPT

Shefchik for all the work she did to compile

my resume and keeping me updated on

travel plans.

Cultural Understanding and

Language Proficiency

Cultural Understanding and Language Proficiency (CULP),

as of 2010, is a new division within the Cadet Command. The

division is building a system of complimentary programs and

incentives aimed at producing Officers who possess language and

cultural skills required in the state of persistent warfare expected

in the 21st Century. The GEB is proud to announce that 11 Cadet’s

were chosen to be given the opportunity to travel and experience

three week trips to different parts of the globe. To top it off our

SMI, MSG Harrell, will lead a trip to Moldova.

Battalion’s Military Ball The Military Ball is one of the many traditions held by the

military today. This event is meant to take a break from

daily stresses and relax and enjoy the company of those you

work with and their guests. Cadet and Cadre wear their

uniforms and follow certain rules of the mess. There is a

formal meal, guest speaker, who was BG (R) John E. Seward,

and a dance to conclude the evening.

Military Appreciation Night at UW-Milwaukee

The UWM Panthers invited active, reserve and retired military personnel and their families to the U.S. Cellular Arena Jan. 26 for Military

Appreciation Night when they took on two-time national runner-up Butler. All military personnel received a complimentary ticket. Both teams wore special uniforms with ACU numbers, an American Flag, the ROTC patch and USA stitched on them. The Cadet Choir sang the

National Anthem and the Color Guard presented the colors. It was a great event for the GEB and all service members that attended. The GEB raised $3200 for the Black Cultural Center by raffling off game worn jerseys.

Cellular Arena let it be known that tonight’s

The GEB Welcomes CPT Costello to the Battalion

11 | Page

CPT Costello is the GEB’s nurse advisor and mentor. She

teaches a monthly class for the nurses that gives them

history and perspective of the profession they are about to

join. The latest activity was the Nurse FTX that took Cadet

nursing students and high school recruits seeking a nursing

major to the Milwaukee VA where they had a chance to

visit with the medical staff, patients and facilities. It was a

great chance for the nurses to see what a military medical

facility is like as well as a chance to speak and network

with nurses, PA’s and doctors. After their tour, the nursing

students were then taken to Miller Park where they were

treated to a special mentorship lunch at Friday’s Front

Row, overlooking the field. It was a great time for the

nurses to learn and socialize all together. Many thanks to

CPT Costello for setting up the visit and giving such an

amazing tour.

Future Soldiers Swim and

Combat Water Survival Test

The GEB assisted the U.S. Army Recruiting Command by

administering and facilitating the Army Swim Test and

the Combat Water Survival Test to Future Soldiers.

Future Soldiers are those who have enlisted, but have

time before they go to their Basic Training. Through this

Cadet led training, they are given a chance to gain

confidence in the water and develop team building

skills. The assisting Cadets have a chance to work with

young Soldiers similar to the ones they will someday

have in their platoons.

Wisconsin Veterans Stand Down

Stand Downs are one part of the Department of Veterans

Affairs’ efforts to provide services to homeless veterans.

Stand Downs are typically one to three day events

providing services to homeless Veterans such as food,

shelter, clothing, health screenings, VA and Social

Security benefits counseling, and referrals to a variety of

other necessary services, such as housing, employment

and substance abuse treatment. Stand Downs are

collaborative events, coordinated between local VAs,

other government agencies, and community agencies

who serve the homeless. Our Cadets volunteered to

support the Richards Street Armory Stand Down over the

course of two days. The event truly requires Cadet

volunteers to be a success.

Army ROTC is represented by a few of the GEB cadre

in the Marquette faculty bowling league. The newest

member of the Pin Snipers is Mr. Jesse Lewis (UWM

class of ’09). He is pictured below receiving a brand

new ball courtesy of SFC(P) Breakfield.

MSIII OPORD CLASS

The MSIII class has entered the most critical semester

of their Cadet career. After winter break, they formed

their own company, Charlie Company, which is

composed of only MSIII’s. It is designed to foster peer

leadership, as well as give their TACs ample time to

monitor and counsel each of the III’s. As they prepare

for the rigors of the Leader Development and

Assessment Course at Fort Lewis, WA., their skills are

honed in order to excel at camp. In addition to

rigorous physical fitness, delivering operations orders

plays a major role in determining how they get rated.

The GEB has set up a special class that is dedicated to

the MSIII’s writing and delivering OPORDs. MSIII’s are

briefed a Platoon level OPORD, and they have to break

it down and brief it at the squad level using terrain

model kits and white boards to visually communicate

their scheme of maneuver. The GEB Cadets heading

out to LDAC are going to be imminently prepared for

whatever they face this summer.

Recruits Shadow Visit

On 10FEB, the GEB invited those high school students who

expressed interest in MU AROTC to spend two days

“shadowing” a current Cadet. Shadows were part of

Thursday morning PT where they ran, jumped and

sweated just like a GEB Cadet. They then attended classes

with their host and got a feel for the Marquette professors

and instructors. After they stayed the night in the dorms,

shadows attended Friday morning Leadership Lab, where

they were trained on how to enter and clear a room. The

shadows then executed just as they would’ve if they were

a Golden Eagle Cadet. After lab, some attended classes

again while others went on the Nurse FTX to the

Milwaukee VA, where nursing student Cadets and those

shadows who were interested in nursing had the chance

to interact with the staff and patients of a military medical

facility. They were then treated to a luncheon special at

Miller Parks’ Front Row restaurant. Shadows left with a

real sense of what it would be like to be a GEB Cadet and a

college student.

Notre Dame Basketball Tournament

ND BBall Team

Pasta Dinner

Historically, the GEB sends a male and female team to compete at the

annual Notre Dame Flyin’ Irish Basketball Tournament. The battalion

actually conducts tryouts to fill both teams which end up spending

three months practicing and preparing for the tournament. The

tournament is a popular ROTC event which brings together Army, Air

Force and Navy programs from across the nation. Although we didn’t

bring home the trophy from the 27 team tournament, our Cadets

played exceptionally tough and served as great Marquette

ambassadors. It was a valuable experience for the Cadets to

participate in a national competition and get to know their fellow

future leaders of tomorrow.

The night before the

tournament it is necessary

to load up on carbohydrates.

Thanks to the Parents’ F.A.N.

Club, the GEB Cadets fueled

up for the games they were

about to play with a pasta

dinner. It was a good chance

for the players to relax

before they got a good

night’s sleep.

Over this winter break I attended the United States Army

Airborne School at Fort Benning, GA. It was my second

attempt at passing the school. I was sent in August for the

first time along with dozens of other Cadets.

Unfortunately, I was injured during my third jump and was

unable to continue jump week. However, I was extremely

fortunate in that when I returned to Marquette my Cadre

spent well over a month making phone calls, filling out

paperwork and securing orders for me to return. After

retraining on the machines required for me to regain jump

status, I was allowed to reenter Jump week. I completed

my last two jumps on the first two days of that week. The

next morning I had a quite graduation in the First Sergeants

office. It was the proudest day in my military career so far.

CDT Adams Wins Big Buck Competition 2nd Year in a Row The Golden Eagle Battalion has a competitive atmosphere

that expands outside the doors of our ROTC building. With

deer hunting season, came the 2nd Annual Big Buck

Competition. Cadets are required to take a picture with

their buck and send it to the battalion. For last two years

the competition has been dominated by MSIV Angela

Adams. Last year her buck was 10pts, weighing in at

195lbs, and this year’s she scored one with 11pts and

178lbs. The battalion will crown a new champion next

year as Cadet Adams will be graduating from UW-Parkside

and commissioning into the WI National Guard. So the

Cadets and Cadre can breathe easy knowing she won’t be

around to take the crown again, but the deer should still

be nervous. CDT Adams is pictured above holding her

plaque that bears her name for the last two years.
